Why should I choose these Loofahs instead of sponges?
Everyday habits have a bigger impact than we realise, and even something as simple as swapping out your kitchen sponge can make a real difference. Traditional plastic sponges might seem harmless, but they're a hidden source of microplastic pollution, shedding tiny plastic particles with every use. They're also made from synthetic materials that don't break down, meaning they linger in landfill for years.
That's where our Sponge Loofahs come in. Made from natural loofah plant fibres, these clever little sponge scourers do the job just as well - if not better - without the environmental drawbacks. They're sturdy enough to tackle tough grime but soft enough to avoid scratching delicate surfaces. They flex and adapt to your dishes, bowls, glasses, and everything else you could be washing, making them really easy to use.
Best of all, when your sponge loofah has done it's duty, it won't sit in landfill for years to come. Simply pop it in your compost bin, and it will naturally break down over the course of a few months. It's a small change, but if we all make changes like this in our daily lives, the impact would be huge.
How else can I stop using single-use plastic?
UK households generate over 140 million pieces of plastic by using more than 70 million cleaning sprays every year - and that doesn’t even include all the bleach bottles, toilet cleaners, disposable soap dispensers and other plastic bottles that are used across the country.
It’s estimated that more than 10 million tonnes of plastic are dumped into our oceans every year - half of this waste is single-use plastic and less than 9% actually gets recycled!
This is why it’s more important than ever to reduce our plastic consumption. To reduce your use of single-use plastic, you can start by switching to products like OceanSaver that are plastic-free and eco-friendly. You could also use reusable carrier bags and water bottles, too.
By making small changes in your daily routine such as switching to cleaning refills like the OceanSaver EcoDrops, you can reduce single-use plastic packaging and help combat the global plastic waste problem.
